Machine Learning and EVM Engineer

I like knowing how things work. Been enjoying machine learning for the last few years, implementing various papers and algorithms after work. My day job for the last ~two years has been related to providing more semantic understanding to the EVM / smart contracts using program and AST analysis. Looking for a job that has a good mix of research and engineering problems. To put it into perspective, I much more prefer CTF like problems, where you need to figure out the path to solve a problem over a predefined plan for solving a problem. Happy to share more info with the right company :)
